Of all the crazy reasons why someone would be against wearing face masks I must admit that 'Most child molesters love them' is a new one.

Excellent couple of sweats for the weekend Ralph.

Earlier today Biden hit 1.93 on Betfair, which seemed ludicrous considering he’s 2 points ahead in Florida and 4 points up in Pennsylvania and clearly ahead of where Hillary was four years ago. Just seems like the market is ovecompensating for Trump’s victory last time out

If he picks Duckworth and wins; then dies or resigns during his term, who would take over?

The next in line is Speaker of the House of Representatives, so Nancy Pelosi.

In this battle of the US presidents, very much enjoying Donald Trump getting outplayed by Gerald Ford.

Boris announced the Covid restriction were being extended, so the trials of sporting events with some fans has to stop.

Bet Anthony Hamilton feels like an idiot now - pulling out of the tournament because they were letting the fans in and now the fans will be all kicked out before his game even starts.

Edit: Actually he was due to play tonight when the fans would still have been there, but it would only have been for one session.

Herman Cain has died from Covid-19

Wasn't Herman Cain the guy whose campaign fell apart once he announced a taxation policy that was taken from the game Sim City?

Congrats all Leeds fans.   Its about time that a proper EPL club was back.  Fingers crossed you stay there.   Love to see Forest back somehow as well.   Sick to death of Bournemouth and Norwich types.   Really want to see an old school EPL.  Shame Villa are going down.

Very much this - too many shitmunchers clogging up the PL. Though Villa could so with a couple of seasons downstairs to give their arse a smack to wake them up.

This is very sad - Mel would have been no age at all.

Thoughts with her family.

[And on a scale of... well just on a scale really, how fat are you?]

Teeks returns - all is well with the world.

Morning Tone, welcome back.

On a scale of 1-10, how grumpy are you these days?

And on a scale of... well just on a scale really, how fat are you?

Basically dropped in to tip my hat at this joke.

Pubs here in Ireland opened earlier this week in 'restaurant mode' so you can't just go for a few pints, you have to have a meal and can stay no longer than 1h45m.

So what's happened? Pubs handing over fake food vouchers with pints so customers can tell the Garda 'I'm just waiting for my food' if any of them do spot checks and find lads sat there with pints and no food.

By any standard, this one is a true icon.

Dame Vera Lynn passes away, aged 103.

In the middle of Coronavirus, "We'll Meet Again" has been a well-used phrase, most notably by the Queen.

Vera Lynn and the Queen would have been the last two people who would have been well known by British people during WW2 that were still alive.

Here in Ireland there is genuine astonishment at Kinahan's involvement in all this - he was named by the High Court as the leader of an organised crime and drugs gang know as 'The Cartel'. The feud with Gary Hutch's gang has killed at least 18 people and is well known to everyone in the country - regular front page news. He's a proper villain. Four years ago one of his weigh-ins was attacked by men armed with AK-47s and someone got killed - this doesn't tend to happen to 100% legitimate promoters.

Fury may as well have got Vito Corleone to put the fight together.
